Minnesota HF2736 eliminates the mandatory fine for school bus stop-signal arm violations.

Minnesota HF2736 amends the state's statutes to eliminate the mandatory fine for violations of school bus stop-signal arm laws. Previously, drivers who failed to stop for a school bus with its stop-signal arm extended faced a mandatory fine. This bill removes that requirement, leaving the decision of imposing a fine to the discretion of the court. The bill retains penalties for violations, including misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor charges for specific actions.
